I've currently ordered new interior carpet, waiting on seat upholstery until I see how bad foam is, have all the interior parts out. New rubber doors/hatch/sunroof/windows/hood bumps.

I've replaced the ac compressor, all the lines, left the evap and condenser as the system held 28" vac all night, recharged and nice cold air now!

Just did new radiator and inner tie rods, needs new front struts it seems - haven't driven it very far.

Motor from the car (engine #1) developed a rod knock so pulled it to do the mains and rod bearings if the crank checks out. Checked the crank and looks like it needs to be machined. Scarring on the journals, in the pics. So now this one needs to go to the shop and have it honed and checked out. Would like to reuse the pistons/rods/crank and just rebuild with new rings/bearings etc.. Put the Bcam back in and call it good. Needs heads really but money is going toward the other engine, cheap GT40s would be nice but I don't want to put any money into them either. I have ordered a set of Ford Racing valve springs to replace the stockers since they will be floating with this cam. I can use them on gt40s if I find any.

Also building another motor (engine #2)on the stand. Basic mild rebuild, hope to use the factory TRW pistons if the machine shop says the block can just be honed. Block, crank, pistons/rods still at the shop as of today, haven't heard yet. Looking to put an Anderson N412, TFS1, or Comp 270 cam in this one, I have a set of Edelbrock Perf RPMs to go on - 2.02 valves check PTV and flycut as needed, springs they list for these heads are super heavy at 420lbs wow! Tubular GT40 intake, 70mm BBK TB, probably need larger injectors too.

First few pics are from the Craigslist ad since I don't have any pics of it after I got her home. Hope to get some soon. Car was covered in mud underneath from the dirt roads I presume but no rust after power washing it, thank goodness.
